C) 20% D) 33.33%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 14.66%

Explanation:

There is no need to use the no of goats i.e (34,398). let initially thete be 1000 goats then 

 

  1000 -----> 1400 -----> 980 -----> 1274 ----->1146.6

 

Thus the % increase = (1146.6-1000)/100 x 100= 14.66%

Q:

X can complete the work in 10 days, Y can do the same in 15 days. If they are hired for 5 days to do the work together, what is the work that left unfinished?

A) 1/3 B) 2/3
C) 1/6 D) 5/6
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 1/6

Explanation:

Given X can do in 10 days 

=> 1 day work of X = 1/10

 

Y can do in 15 days 

=> 1 day work of Y = 1/15

 

1day work of (X + Y) = 1/10 + 1/15 = 1/6

 

Given they are hired for 5 days

 => 5 days work of (X + Y) = 5 x 1/6 = 5/6

 Therefore, Unfinished work = 1 - 5/6 = 1/6

Q:

The value of a machine depreciates at the rate of 10% every year. It was purchased 3 years ago. If its present value is Rs. 8,748, its purchase price was ?

A) Rs.14,000 B) Rs.12,000
C) Rs. 12,800 D) Rs. 15,000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs.12,000

Explanation:

We have P = 8748, R = -10 and n = 3
Therefore, the purchase price of the machine
= P1+R100n= 87481-101003
= 8748 x (100/90) x (100/90) x (100/90)
= 12,000.

 

Therefore, the purchase price of the machine was Rs. 12,000.

Q:

An Engine length 1000 m moving at 10 m/s. A bird is flying from engine to end with 'x' m/s and coming back at '2x' m/s. Take total time of bird travelling as 187.5 s. Find x and 2x in km/hr ?

A) 21.4 and 42.8 B) 25.2 and 50.4
C) 31.4208 and 62.8416 D) 33.12 and 66.24
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 31.4208 and 62.8416

Explanation:

Birds speeds in mtrs/sec is 'x' and '2x' .
While flying from Engine to end, relative speed = (x+10) m/sec
from end to engine, flying speed = (2x - 10) mtr/sec
so
1000/(x+10) + 1000/(2x-10) = 187.5 secs
solving it, we get
so x = 8.728 m/sec and 2x= 17.456 m/sec

x = 31.4208 km/hr and 2x = 62.8416 km/hr.

Q:

Find the principal if the interest compounded at the rate of 10% per annum for two years is Rs. 420 ?

A) Rs. 2000 B) Rs. 2100
C) Rs. 1900 D) Rs. 2150
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 2000

Explanation:

Given,
Compound rate, R = 10% per annum
Time = 2 years
C.I = Rs. 420
Let P be the required principal.
A = (P+C.I)
Amount, A = P1 + r100n

(P+C.I) = P1 + 101002

(P+420) = P[11/10][11/10]

P-1.21P = -420

0.21P = 420

Hence, P = 420/0.21 = Rs. 2000
